    Cross Country through B for a checkride?

    Should be fine as long as the "coffee" is shared pro rata with DPE...

    Cross Country through B for a checkride?

    Actually, after being reminded of the official Class B training I received in 6PC"s FAA certified training video, I will just go straight through the Bravo using someone else's call sign. That should be an automatic pass from the DPE!

    Cross Country through B for a checkride?

    I am planning mine around the Class B for my PP check ride just so I don't have to bother with missing my first couple of checkpoints if I get vectored. For me it only adds about 10 miles to the trip, but makes the planning easier. And yes, that was the recommendation of my CFI!

    Houston Flight school suggestions...

    I understand the temp/dew point spread issue with safety. Usually this just results in a delay for a morning flight while waiting on temp to increase. The main thing that has given me grief is the 5 knots or less crosswind and 15k or less total wind, and no gusts. Most of my dual was in wind...

    Houston Flight school suggestions...

    I've been training at United Flight Systems at Hooks and it's been really good. My only complaint is the strict student solo weather minimums, but I believe all of the flight schools at Hooks are following the same minimums. It has resulted in approximately 30-40% of my solos to be delayed or...

    Just talkin

    If school will accept 1st or 2nd class, why not just do 2nd at this point? Save money in less frequent medical exams. How long ago was last use? I am under the impression that if it is only marijuana, it only is detectable in urine for a few days to a week or so. Of course, I am neither a...

    landing near airport close to class B - questions ahead of time

    KFD... Not sure 500' AGL under the Bravo over Houston would be very pleasant or advisable/legal. (But what do I know, I'm still a student pilot!)

    landing near airport close to class B - questions ahead of time

    I am doing my flight training (nearing check ride) at DWH and almost every time I've been on FF they have cleared me into the Bravo without my asking. Once they even vectored me into the Bravo surface area just about 2 miles south of IAH. It is really simple to get in and out of Hooks...

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    After weeks of the weather turning bad every time I had a flight scheduled, I was finally able to solo today! I thought I'd missed my chance though, after dropping my CFI off at the FBO... I knew Comm 1 was inop, but Comm 2 had been fine for the short trip from my home airport to KCXO...

    Solo VFR pilots.....and Weather minimums

    I am training at KDWH with the same minimums. Assuming we are at the same school. I have been ready for my first solo for a couple of weeks, but can't get the weather to cooperate! I have just been going up with my CFI anyway. The way I see it, if my CFI is willing to fly, I can get experience...
